Hey there, welcome to my Toyhouse! Thanks for stopping by.

1. Character Sales and Trades

My Sale/Trade Folder is hereAnything that I'm ready to part with will be in that folder. If it's not there, then I am not planning on trading it at this time.
Please check the character's profile what I am looking for. It is sometimes different for every character. In general, I might be interested in the following:

USD: The price will be in the character's profile. Polite counter-offers are welcome. I don't usually do holds or payment plans. 

Closed Species: I am active in the following groups and will be interested in pre-mades or MYOs for them: 

  • Chimereons
  • Spinxyn (Tales From Nephfei)

Art: Generally, I am looking for full body character art and I am not interested in most busts or icons. Please have an idea of how you value your work and state exact quantities and detail levels. All skill levels are encouraged to offer. Both digital and traditional art are equally appreciated, but traditional art must be well digitized for consideration (scanned or cleanly photographed).

One-Offs: The Design Preferences section below might be helpful if offering one-offs to me.

3. Three-Way Trades

I am always open to three way trades as long as everyone involved is aware of what's going on. I am a patient person and it's okay if something doesn't work out. It never hurts to ask, just let me know what you need. 



4. Art & Customs Trades

I don't usually offer my own art for characters but I have agreed to it when approached before, so feel free to ask about this! I can draw existing characters or make customs (one-offs or closed species). You can see some examples of species character designs I've made here

I'm most active in art-for-art trades during Art Fight! I do my best to revenge when I'm attacked, especially when I think the characters would work well with my style. Outside of Art Fight, I might be open to trades! It depends on how much time I have to be honest, but feel free to propose an art trade if you'd like one. I'll always answer and I'm keen on saying yes whenever I can. That said, I will only agree to art trades where a short turnaround time is expected from both of us (ideally 1 week). I never agree to art trades unless I'm ready to work on it right away, but unfortunately experience has taught me that long or non-existent deadlines result in me waiting several months if I receive art in return at all. Now I make sure both sides agree to prioritize the trade before it starts. 


5. Commissions

I do not have an open/closed status on commissions specifically, but I will take them on a case-by-case basis. If you are interested in a commissioning me, please send me a message with all the information about what you're looking for. I will be able to give exact rates and turnover time up front. I will accept the task if I am interested in it and if I have the time. I accept USD payment through PayPal. Thank you for your interest!
